Phytotoxicity, not nitrogen immobilization, explains plant litter inhibitory effects: evidence from solid-state 13C NMR spectroscopy.
Litter decomposition provides nutrients that sustain ecosystem productivity, but litter may also hamper root proliferation. The objectives of this work were to assess the inhibitory effect of litter… Expand

Litter quality assessed by solid state 13C NMR spectroscopy predicts decay rate better than C/N and Lignin/N ratios
Abstract Predictions of litter decomposition rates are critical for modelling biogeochemical cycling in terrestrial ecosystems and forecasting organic carbon and nutrient stock balances. Litter… Expand

Retention of dead leaves by grasses as a defense against herbivores. A test on the palatable grass Paspalum dilatatum
The vast majority of grass species retain their leaves as they become senescent, inducing an accumulation of dead biomass that may limit plant productivity. In this research, we tested the hypothesis… Expand

Refining the range of an importance index
Summary An index measuring interaction importance (Iimp) was proposed in a paper published on 2010 by the Journal of Ecology. This index, now widely used by researchers, has been claimed to… Expand
